Plugged

De: Eoin Colfer

Narrado por: John Keating

Daniel McEvoy has a problem. Well, really, he has several, but for this Irish ex-pat bouncer at a seedy, small-time casino, the fact that his girlfriend was just murdered in the parking lot is uppermost in his mind. That is until lots of people around him start dying, and not of natural causes. Suddenly, Daniel’s got half the New Jersey mob, dirty cops, and his man-crazy upstairs neighbor after him, and he still doesn't know what's going on. Bullets are flying, everybody's on the take and it all may be more than Daniel’s new hair plugs can handle. And Daniel’s got to find the guy who put in those hair plugs—or at least his body—and fast, or else he'll never get that voice out of his head.

Head-spinning plot twists, breakneck pacing, and some of the best banter this side of Elmore Leonard's Detroit will keep you on the edge of your seat and itching for more.

Ridiculous and Dull and Silly

I just finished listening to “Plugged” by Eoin Colfer and found it very disappointing. I couldn’t believe with all of the action going on in the story and the ludicrous solving of a string of crimes, it was just dull and boring! The humor wasn’t strong for me and I thought there were TOO many crazy, ridiculous situations.

I think maybe teens would enjoy it (even though written for Adults) because the plot is so improbable that it’s not funny! Unfortunately, after about two hours of listening it became just plain irritating. His imaginative conversations with the ghost of his doctor friend Zeb, who haunts him throughout the story, I found especially annoying.

I wish I could have gotten into the swing of things, but the story line just seemed to irk me. I continually wanted to just give up on finishing the book, but I continued to the end and, unfortunately, the book never improved.

I would stay clear of this one, and save your credit!

SO MUCH FUN!

Truly as enjoyable an experience as I've had in months. If reading required a 12-Step Program's assistance in its cessation, I would be leading the meeting. I averaged a book a day, and can no longer read. Something this wonderful shouldn't be harmful to your health. I love this author, and especially that this title is free with the Audible Plus subscription. I'm not wealthy, and this habit is definitely for those with Platinum cards.

I highly recommend this audiobook. Enjoy!

I really got hook on Eoin Colfer from his children's series Artemis Fowl. I like his leap into this genre and hope to see more.

Funny and witty and entertaining!

I quite enjoyed this book. It was funny, witty, smart and completely entertaining! It gave me the feel of In Bruges or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Two of my favorite movies. Going to start the sequel right now!

Thoroughly entertaining!

The story was so well written and entertaining and the narration was superb. So many laugh out loud moments. Just loved it.
